Obama: U.S. 'will emerge stronger' from crisis

President Obama will pledge Tuesday night that the nation "will rebuild, we will recover," as he delivers an address to a joint session of Congress and with a nervous nation watching at home.

"While our economy may be weakened and our confidence shaken; though we are living through difficult and uncertain times, tonight I want every American to know this: We will rebuild, we will recover, and the United States of America will emerge stronger than before," Mr. Obama will say, according to excerpts of his remarks.

In lofty language, Mr. Obama is expected to promise a new path forward and to draw distinctions with the way the country ran during the last eight years.

"What is required now is for this country to pull together, confront boldly the challenges we face, and take responsibility for our future once more," Mr. Obama will say.

But the speech is also Mr. Obama's first major chance to put specifics to the promises he piled up during the campaign: to enact universal health care, to withdraw troops from Iraq, to change the tax code by increasing the burden on the wealthy and lowering the burden on low-income families, and to pursue a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

In the Republican response, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal will acknowledge Republicans' big-government agenda and fealty to earmark spending were failures, but he will say Democrats are making those same mistakes now.

Democratic leaders say their legislation will grow the economy. What it will do is grow the government, increase our taxes down the line, and saddle future generations with debt," Mr. Jindal said in excerpts released to the press early.

If he refers to the United States as a 'shining city on hill' I'll blow a gasket. How many lines will he still from Reagan tonight? Obama's credibility has been seriously damaged and he has only himself to blame. Who's buying it?

Obama: U.S. 'will emerge stronger' from crisis

He was talking about the Government, not the People.

Spell check said it was OK.

[Syncro]

The DOW went up today to tease him

Tomorrow it will tank.

Too bad this speech isn't when the market is open

It's fun to watch it go down while he is talking.

On a side note, can't people buy and sell when the market is closed for the nite?

[skeeter]

First he was Lincoln, then he was FDR.

Now he's Reagan.

He needs to stop patterning himself after presidents, each of whom were far more significant figures than he & who's shoes he could never come close to filling, and begin channeling cartoon characters. More appropriate.

[KarlInOhio]

How about severely weakened under the crushing burden of yet another few trillion dollars of federal debt lent to us (for now) by our adversaries.

[Names Ash Housewares]

B.O. simply continues to campaign.

[WOSG]

I hope he is right. After we suffer years from Obama’s bad policies .... We will defeat Obama, reject his bad and wrong policies, and rebuild USA on a sounder footing.

[Retired Greyhound]

“He was talking about the Government, not the People. “

Exactly. And he is right.

[maggief]

“He was talking about the Government, not the People.”

Sadly, I agree.

[Names Ash Housewares]

“What is required now is for this country to pull together, confront boldly the challenges we face, and take responsibility for our future once more,”

Pull together? yeah right. Obama: “I WON”

Confront the challenges we face? BAHAHAHAHA! Cannot even bring himself to say “war on terror” and spend like there is no tomorrow.

Responsiblity for the future once more? See above!

[Puddleglum]

Lies like a Soviet - “Oh comrades, the harvest was glorious! Grain rations will be cut until further notice, and notify the Party of hoarders!”

[originalbuckeye]

0bamabots lap it up. I was having a conversation with a friend and I said that 0bama was a pathological liar. My friend (0bama supporter) started shaking. It's all emotional for them. Logic has no place in the head of an 0bama worshiper. Zero must lift phrases from others because he has no thoughts of his own. His mind is owned by Alinsky, Ayers and Soros.

[George Smiley]

I predict he’ll be Mussolini before long.

[Right Cal Gal]

“We will rebuild”????
Who does he think he’s talking to? A San Francisco audience in 1906??

[Puddleglum]

Here’s a dumb idea: instead of the FedGov taking our money and giving it back to us, after processing, to help us out, why not just renew the Bush tax cuts? Huh, O-Might blowhard?

Follow along at home.

It’s just childish, we have always recovered from recessions he acts like he’s in the middle of WWII.

[Uncle Miltie]

"the United States of America will emerge stronger than before"

Only after Dems are soundly defeated at the polls.

Until then, The Destruction of Western Civilization proceeds apace as Administration policy.

[Thunder90]

The US will emerge weakened from the crisis. The Dims want a 25% cut in defense by 2011.

[dr_who]

Bingo! He was talking about the Democrat party, not the country!

Reincarnation?

I wish W had stolen lines from Reagan. He was too busy pitching illegals as our future to say much positive about America.

"While our economy may be weakened and our confidence shaken; though we are living through difficult and uncertain times, tonight I want every American to know this: We will rebuild, we will recover, and the United States of America will emerge stronger than before," Mr. Obama will say, according to excerpts of his remarks.

Exactly, as long as the "we" does not include the speaker. America will recover when this sleazy impostor is hurled into the lake of fire.

Ooops.

[Red_Devil 232]

If 0Bambi’s head is moving from left to right and back again at a rate of every other four words and his lips are moving - he is lying!

[databoss]

You steal need to hit grammar check...

[SunkenCiv]

"It will be strong, like the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, or like Iraq under Saddam Hussein."

[SMM48]

Why does Jindal have to release his speach ahead of time? Just curious.

[dandiegirl]

Why does Obama have to copy and act like other presidents? Why can’t he just be himself? He has no self- he’s whomever they tell him to be.

[databoss]

"put specifics on the challenges" just like Tim "the Market Mauler" Geithner? They had to trot out a dour Bernanke today ahead of The Great Wagyu's speech to calm the markets with this special BS, "the government won't outright own the zombie banks Citi and BoA...." LOL

[VRWC For Truth]

The market is banking on a little extra profit from the bump today since they short sold for tomorrow. Buy low short sell lower.

[TurtleUp]

U.S. 'will emerge stronger' from Obama crisis

I agree. The U.S. will emerge stronger from the Obama crisis, and that will happen on January 20, 2013.

[Canedawg]

First he was Lincoln, then he was FDR.
Now he’s Reagan.
- - - - - - - -

And of course, he’s most like Carter.

[P.O.E.]

United States of America will emerge stronger than before

Well, ammo sales are up, that's for sure.

[mefistofelerevised]

bttt

[George Smiley]

That's downright creepy.

[peace with honor]

we will emerge stronger when YOUR OUTTA THERE!!!

[Post Toasties]

Obama: U.S. 'will emerge stronger' from crisis

That's highly doubtful as long as he's in office.

[Post Toasties]

LOL

[topfile]

we will emerge stronger when YOUR OUTTA THERE!!!

I'm hoping he doesn't pull a Chávez and abolish the Presidential term limit. He has many worshipers as we all know. Oh, and the US Constitution is meaningless to Obama.

[El Gato]

Obama U.S. 'will emerge stronger' from crisis

Slight correction in the interest of his real meaning and intent.

[topfile]

And of course, he’s most like Carter.

...and we all know what a economic genius Carter turned out to be. Obama's always wishing he was someone else. Who's next? Maybe.....Jefferson? Has he tried on that persona yet? I half expect to see him in a powdered wig soon.

[Repeal 16-17]

He just said “we will emerge stronger” and the whole Reichstag, uh... I mean Congress, stood and applauded. ;)

[SunkenCiv]

:’D

[phillyfanatic]

Unfortunately, BHO can communicate even if the message is wrong. Poor Jindal, was just an amateur and though a good guy, and had some points, the populace will simply forget the common sense that could and should have been expressed but as usual, Pubs cannot communicate.

[tina07]

Clinton advised him to talk more positively and so he did..or tried, he didn’t change my mind one bit about how he is ruining this country.

[M. Espinola]

Additional billions to crooked bankers is what I got from Obama’s double talk.
